is anyone using CM7 having a problem with "news & weather"? my phone doesn't seem able to acquire my location to update the weather. whenever i refresh the weather, it'll say "acquiring location"...then "loading..." and then it says "no weather location available". i am also using an app called "minimalistic text" to display the weather on a widget and it can't seem to acquire a location to display either...anyone know what's going on here? if i specify a city (i.e., a "custom location"), then it will display the weather...otherwise it doesn't. my gps is working fine as well so i'm not sure why it can't seem to detect my location for the weather
any help would be appreciated! thanks!
I'm not having any issues with it. You have you location set?
Its working for me on nightly 40, just switched to 51 and still working.
Also using the minimalistic text widget, and it has my location and weather as well. Do you have it set in settings to acquire location by mobile
data, otherwise you'll have to have gps on.
no i don't have the location set. if i have it set to a specific location, then it works. if i want it to update depending on which city i'm in, then it doesn't work and says "no weather location available..."
back when i had the sense stock, i didn't have to have gps on..and every few hours, the weather would update on its own depending on which city i was in...
News and weather settings: [only what I have checked]
weather: use my location
No special settings under minimalist. Hit globals settings, and try checking define location. Mine isn't checked, but it still picks up my location.
yea currently i have "define location" checked...but then it makes me specify a location...so i did...and it works. but if i leave it unchecked, it doesn't pick up my location...and this is precisely the problem...cuz i want it to update depending on where i am...vs. specifying only one location...
weird that i seem to be the only one with this problem..cuz i didn't find anyone else with posts regarding this matter

Awkward. In location and security under settings, do you have use wirelessn networks checked?
I wonder if "The GPS Fix" would be relevant here?

Yes, because that allows the data to pull your location based off your 3G, and that should allow it to update automatically based on your location.

My pleasure.
I'm on ATT and having issues with the One X finding my location. The weather app can't find it and on the browser if I go to google.com, the location is unknown. I have the location services set to on, the Google Maps will find me, but if I use the Navigation it doesn't work.
I haven't tried a full factory reset yet, and I did download a GPS app to reset the AGPS, but it doesn't seem to have worked.
Anyone else on ATT getting this issue?
I'm very curious about the GPS on One X, anyone has any information on this?
I know my GPS on Desire HD (maybe just mine), is pretty crappy...
I don't think AGPS is working on my One X, when I'm in the house I can't get Google Nav to work, Maps is fine. But I just tested Nav outside, hit the search and said "Navigate to Starbucks" and it was fine.
On the browser when I load up Google.com, the location on the bottom says "Unknown", I have location services turned on, so I don't know whats causing this. The stock weather app also says Unknown, but Fancy Widgets app shows my location, so some HTC thing maybe.
I have used my HOX with no issues on GPS or locations on AT&T. I have used Navigation for over 2 hours already.
Noodles,
Launch the browser and go to google.com
Scroll to the bottom and does it show your location or does it say Unknown?
Thanks

Hi all,
I have been using Google Now Traffic for about 2 months or so?
It never NEVER and I mean NEVER showed my commute to work card.
Even when I'm to work, it shows me the commute to home card. So it's always the commute to home card showing up and a couple of other places I added after being asked by Google Now if I wanted those places to be reported.
WiFi, Mobile,Location Access, GPS are all enabled at all times, but NOTHING.
What to do?
Thanks
Have you setup your work location?

Yes, ofcourse.
And when I check to location history for the past days it shows me that I was at 'Work' during the day, for example.
But the traffic card will not work whatsoever.
So, nobody can help me with this?
Maybe Google thinks you're unemployed. Has it given you any links to monster.com?

Do you work at the same time every day? The only workaround I can recommend is to add a work "event" to your calendar and then it will show you the time and traffic to that event.
Also, check your privacy settings and make sure you're sharing all of your information with google.
Isn't there a manual way to produce a commute to work card? I do have my work schedule in my calendar. For location should I say "work" or Tufts University" or do I need to input the actual address? I have set up "work" location in google maps but I do not have a "regular" schedule.
did you check that the "traffic" notification is checked "when you travel FROM home" as well as "When you travel TO home" ?
It looks like you have only the second check active.
(I'm sorry, but I don't know the exact english phrase, non english language here)
Hey Guys,
I've searched and searched and searched (albeit I admit I suck at searching), and cannot find anyone talking about this. Thus here I am. Even the Google Product forms seem to have zero answers for me (and no one answering me there), and thus why I'm here. I also don't know if this is the right place to ask, but here goes anyway:
The new (pretty) Google Maps/Nav works on my S3 on Cyanogen mod: as in, I can search the map, use it and start using navigation ... BUT, if I switch to a different app (desktop screen, check sms, mail, settings, anything that isn't the navigation app) while live navigation is running, it'll reset back to the nav search screen BUT live navigation will keep running in the background (voice + GPS still running) and the map will NOT show any navigation.
To recreate for me the steps are:
1) Load up navigation and navigate somewhere, anywhere.
2) Switch to a different app.
3) Go back into navigation. Instead of being presented with the route (live nagivation) I'm presented with the nav search screen.
If I click the 'back' button, I get a regular ol' map. Searching for any route while the old nav is running will cause the Maps app to crash. The only error message I get if I get it to crash is: "Google Maps has unexpectedly closed."
I have tried re-installing the new Google Maps. I have even tried doing a complete phone wipe, also didn't help.
The only thing that sort of seems to do 'something', is if I clear the Google Maps/Navigation cache, force stop it, and then start again. Then I'll be able to use the quick app switch (pressing home button for a few seconds) to switch in and out, but that's about it .. and that only works for one nav route. After that first one if I try again it'll start crashing again.
Has anyone ever experienced anything like this? Or point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
p.s. I did post in the google product support form, no responses there yet

I can't reproduce the issue you are having (I'm on TW 4.1.2, though), but I have had my own set of issues with it. If you disable wifi and network location (to keep the Nlp wakelocks under control), sometimes when the GPS locks it still shows and old location. Only way to fix is to wipe data.
Since the fix is the same, I'm going with bug in the app. Old version was better in pretty much every way.
Don't forget that recently google made a lot of changes to maps. I'd imagine they know about a lot of the bugs people are having and will probably fix in the near future.
When you try to go back to navigation, do you select it from the notification area?

Yeah, I selected it from the notification area.
IF, and ONLY IF, I clear the Google maps area will navigation still work if I reselect it from the notification area and/or the quick switch thingy. But that niceness only lasts for one route :-/ After that, it's back to always search menu for me.
It all really sucks because for work I do get a lot of texts or calls, which means if I'm using navigation ... yeah ... I basically have to reset navigation every single bloody time I get a notification :-/
I've never used it, but what about Samsung Drive Link? Isn't that supposed to provide an interface for when you're driving? Maybe using it will allow you to switch normally. Thats just a complete guess, like I said, I've never used it.
Only other option, and probably the best one, is to use an older version of maps. I posted one in a similar thread to this in the Themes section.

I took your advice and found the old google map APK. <sigh> I already miss the integration and style of the new one, but heck you are so right: the old one works perfectly! Keeping that.
Thanks for the idea!
Now if we could only get Google to fix the new maps app bugs.
I'm under the impression they are working on it.

I have been having the exact same issue ever since the big Google Maps interface update.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3, stock.
My location is correct but the temps are wrong. Temperatures are provided by the default OpenWeatherMap provider and I've tried other providers as well but the temperatures are still incorrect.
Homescreen weather widget wrong data.

I am also having the same issue, I have changed the weather app thrice but just can't seem to correct this error.
Have you found solution, about temperature?
I tried to use it but getting always that its trying update temperature, but dont show location until i turn gps and wifi/3g on? How to make it update temperature automatically, because now it's update only then i go to themer setting - > weather
Having same problem, I'm in England and the temp is showing 25C haha. Seriously it's annoying and I cant find a solution. It's not working.
is there a way to add other weather providers?
the built in ones are inaccurate
Mine seems to be working now

I'm having this issue as well. It says it 77 deg F....in Chicago. It's been getting it wrong for about a week now which is frustrating. I'm not going to keep using it for weather at this point which sucks because I bought the full version of Zooper. :crying:
I've been having this problem ever since I started using Zooper. Like Jed, the temperature is so far off, I don't think there's anywhere in the country right now that's actually that warm. We're talking 40+ degrees difference. Of the three providers, two of them have roughly the same information... which leads me to believe it's a location issue, as if Zooper is reporting to the weather servers that I'm some hundreds, or thousands, of miles from where I actually am. I've switched to Yahoo for now, as it seems at least somewhat close, but if past problems are any indication, it will eventually go out of whack and I'll switch back to one of the others, and that one will be somewhat accurate for a month or so.
Try checking the "Alternative Geocoder" option under "Global Preferences->Advanced". It seemed to fix it for me.
I actually fixed it by manually entering my location for each widget that required it. It works if you don't travel that much.

I tried both options and it is still not working.
The widget says 28 degrees Celsius but is actually 11 degrees Celsius.
The Alternative Geocoder did not worked for me as well so I changed the weather provider and picked Yr.no. I guess you have to install that one before. Now the weather is accurate for my small town in France
Continuing problems with inaccurate weather
Any fixes in sight? Regardless of which of the 3 weather providers I choose, I'm getting temp readings that are 10-15 degrees off. My location is being accurately detected. I'm hoping that someone knows of a way to increase the accuracy of the weather info provided. Otherwise, love the app!
Ya anyway to add others weather provider.
The 3 bundle weather is completely not accurate. Now is heavy hot but it show raining to me.
Try the advanced Menu - > Debug Info -> Current Weather from Open Weather Map?
And check Open weather on Weather Menu.
That should fix the problem.

I'm having issues now with my weather info (only question marks or "Unknown") and icons (only a placeholder) not showing/updating. I'd like to try this fix but I couldn't find "Debug Info" in Zooper. Can you guide me as to how to get to the Debug Info menu? TIA
cant believe its been 2 years and this issue is still in the app.
i tried alternate geocoder, tried the 3 weather providers....
even tried selecting my location manually
i still get 10degrees difference sometimes.. i have the yahoo app and it shows the correct temp.. but zooper doesnt.
i regret paying for this app.. dont recommend it
